Grade Recovery - Freeman
English I - Quarter 1 - 2019-2020
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Grade Recovery?
Grade Recovery is offered to students who failed Quarter 1 in an effort to master the skills that we practiced throughout the nine weeks. It is an opportunity to bring your failing grade up to a passing grade (70).
How Does It Work?
You will need to check Skyward and figure out which assignments that you did not turn in or did not complete or failed (below 70%) and redo them.
All assignments are linked below. I will not be providing copies of these assignments. You may print them in the Library for 10 cents a page or you may print them at home.
How Do I Turn Them In?
You will need to put ALL of the completed work in a folder. The folder should be labeled with your name, your class period, and that it is quarter 1 grade recovery.
It MUST all be submitted at once in the folder. It must be turned into your class period's gold tray or handed directly to me.
When Is This Due?
All of this work must be completed and turned in NO LATER THAN Friday, November 15th at 3:30 PM.
This Is Really Long, How Do I Find The Assignment?
This s'more is broken down by unit and goes in chronological order for the 9 weeks.
Quick FYI
All specifics and resources for ALL assignments and activities can be found on my class website, which is linked below.

Book Project Choices
Choose EITHER the book talk presentation OR the novel choice board to complete for your independent book project. Your book cannot be one read for this class.
- If you choose the book talk presentation, you MUST fill out the organizer and present it to me during a Rocket Time that is scheduled in advance.
- If you choose the novel choice board, you MUST complete 10 activities and somehow clip/staple them together so that they do not get combined with the rest of your work for the grade recovery in your folder.
